Introducing Hell RangersHell Rangers is a cooperative 32mm miniature board game for 1-5 players. In the game you assume the role of the Rangers, a paramilitary military force tasked with defending the citizens of Mars from the monstrous Zaghast that live deep under the planet’s surface. It is similar in vein to properties like Doom or Aliens.

Today we have a large 3d gallery preview of the Rangers themselves and their enemies the Zaghast.More previews and videos will be coming showcasing all the games features.

Hell Rangers will be coming out later this year, looking to Kickstart sometime.

If any publishers are interested in Order Fulfillment/Publishing/Distribution please feel free to contact me, I am open to suggestions.

I hope everyone has been having an amazing summer. Where did the summer go already? I blinked and we are well into July already. Things have been very busy here at Dark Sword HQ. Lots of awesome miniatures and some other equally fun projects are being worked on.

We have 10 brand new miniature releases posted up on the Dark Sword site. A little something for everyone this time around.

We have a new GRRM Masterworks mini sculpted by Tom Meier (there are many more in the production pipeline as I type this), three new Visions in Fantasy adventurers from Jeff Grace and Tom Meier, a new Elmore Masterworks Male Mage from Patrick Keith and five new Critter Kingdoms miniatures from Dave Summers including 2 new otters, 2 new turtles and a new Owl Warrior.

Aaron Lovejoy and Kat Martin did the painting honors on the wonderful looking painted studio models this time around.

So swing on by the Dark Sword site to check out all the new releases and other awesome miniature painting resources like our DVD tutorial sets.

Vampire Hunters, from Dark Gate games, is a fully co-operative miniatures-based board game for 1-4 players. Bring the dark imagery of Vampire lore from the classic stories in movies and books to your table top, as you take on the role of a newly recruited Vampire Hunter. Thrown into the Vampire den with a small band of comrades, you use stakes, crossbows and holy water to destroy the creatures of the Night. Craft makeshift weapons on the fly for more destructive power! Tear down window coverings to burn Vampires with Sunlight! Drag screaming Vampires outside the den with the Extractor! Team up to make combination attacks! Stay focused on your mission to power special abilities!

But watch the clock: at sundown, you become the prey!

Optional game modes add to replayability. Play standalone games or follow the full campaign, upgrade your weapons, equipment and special skills as you advance in the Order. Play semi-coop to rate your skills, giving bragging rights to the best Hunter. You can even play on as a Vampire, if your Hunter gets turned. Make Vampire Hunters the experience you want it to be!
